I don't know if I should report this here or in the clickpad buttons bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582809

I've tested the 1.1.0 package, and it compiles Ok and works of for two finger 
scroll and three finger paste.
But with clickpads, you cannot click+drag, because as they heve a full 
sensitive surface with no physical separated buttons,
when you press the touchpad with a second finger to make the click, the driver 
detects two fingers and so, stops the cursor and start scrolling. Same happens 
if you made a click, and with the finger pressing the surface (in button area) 
you put another finger to drag the thing below the cursor.
Testing Win7 synaptic driver behaviour, it seems that it takes into account the 
delay or time between one finger and two finger touchs. i.e.,
If you put two fingers in the touchpad more or less simultaneously, it behaves 
as two finger detected and start scrolling, but
if you put first one finger, and then the second finger with some delay  (~0.5s 
or more), cursor moves as if only one finger was detected, and so, you can 
click and then touch and drag. Same if you are moving one finger on the 
touchpad (moving the cursor) and then touch with other finger to do a click for 
example, the driver behaves as if only the initial finger was over the 
touchpad, allowing you to click with the other.
In fact, it seems that Win7 syn. dirver doesn't use the area marked as left 
buttton for anything, you can click+drag or move+click or scroll with two 
finger simultaneously in any place. The only diference is when you make the 
click in right-bottom area designated as right button, that it then behaves as 
right click.
